Book Description

Hanif Kureishi's literary memoir explores his relationship with his father, a failed writer. Kureshi is, of course, hugely successful...

Esquire

This is an ambitious book. Kureshi - free-associating with what feels like unmitigated honesty - successfully conveys the impression that in this book he has actually given us himself.

Sunday Times

Deeply involving, highly intelligent and, in what it doesn’t say rather than what it does, profoundly sad.

Evening Standard

I don’t think he has done anything as good, in any medium, as this moving and fiercely honest book.
